What is Xtend TK?
When this rather new substance hit the market in 2006, it was not clear to many what Xtend TK was or what it could do for consumers. It is now obvious that Xtend TK is without a doubt this decade’s most important breakthrough in skin care. Ample science and field results solidly support its success.
Xtend TK is a bio active form of keratin that supports your skin regeneration. Xtend TK mainly contains Bioactive Keratin which is a natural substance extracted directly from sheep’s wool.
New Zealand sheep are among the most prolific wool producers in the world. Not surprisingly, Xtend TK was originally developed in New Zealand and it is sourced exclusively from selected farms which adhere to rigid protocols of purity in order to ensure premium quality. Xtend TK is also a cruelty free product and sheep are not harmed in the harvesting process.
Xtend TK is also the preferred ingredient among top-quality, natural skin care companies. One of the main reasons is that it eliminates the need for individual products that target a specific skin type and often overlap in their purpose. Cosmetics with Xtend TK protect your skin against further damage from pollutants and sun damage, effectively reducing wrinkles and fine lines. It visibly improves the elasticity and firmness of the skin. It reduces inflammation and redness associated with sensitive skin and improves the radiance and brightness of the skin, giving your face a creamy and more even complexion.
The keratin found in Xtend TK is a protein found throughout the human body. It plays an essential role in skin regeneration. However, Xtend TK is unique in the way it makes keratin available for absorption though the epidermis.
Although it is sometimes used in other products, keratin is often de-natured through an industrial process called hydrolyzation. Certain animal byproducts such as feathers, horns and hooves are treated with acids and high temperatures to extract keratin. The final product is of low quality and useless when applied directly to the skin.
The keratin in Xtend TK has undergone a unique patented process that creates a form of soluble keratin that can be effortlessly absorbed through the skin. The availability of the bioactive polymers in Xtend TK is constant and complete. The manufacturer has very aptly coined the term “liquid skin” which refers to Xtend TK’s ability to mimic and restore the functions of healthy skin.
The best news associated with Xtend TK is that it actually stimulates your own natural collagen production to increase again. In fact, it is proven in clinical trials to stimulate not only the recovery of collagen but also a different skin protein called elastin.
Scientific studies show the Bioactive Keratin in Xtend TK encourages new skin cell production. It contains zinc protein complexes, which are useful for both the maintenance and of the skin. It also contains copper protein complexes, which play a critical role in skin health by acting as a gentle healing agent.
As an additional benefit, Xtend TK increases the production of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione. This helps reverse brown pigmentation in the skin caused by UV exposure and environmental pollutants. Sun damage is, after all, the main reason for aging skin in both men and women.
It is quite apparent that those looking to reap the benefits of the long term use of cosmetics, should look into a natural line of products containing Xtend TK. It will guarantee visible and palpable results that could not be attained by using any of the standard chemical laden cosmetics found at your local mall. I am quite certain that you will not be disappointed.

Can I use this product if I am allergic to wool products?

Xtend TK is a combination of natural bioactive keratin and a nutritional hydrolysed keratin (which is a unique filament protein required for the health of skin, hair and nails). The advantage of Xtend TK is that it remains bioactive, compared to most keratin ingredients which lose bioactivity during processing. This ensures that it remains in its naturally stable form.
These ingredients are produced from natural New Zealand keratin fibre which is sourced from sheep’s wool. So I would suggest that if you are allergic to wool products, then you may be best to avoid any skin care products that feature Xtend TK.
